Supremely Qualified For The Supreme Court: Ketanji Brown Jackson - The Last Word - MSNBC



MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell examines the Supreme Court qualifications of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is reportedly on Pres. Biden’s shortlist.

start trying to tear them down. They put such unqualified hacks on the court that whichever one Biden chooses will shine by comparison, but that doesn't matter to republicans.

I love this series by Lawrence to showcase some of our wonderful Black women judges that I would not have otherwise known about. Biden has a wealth of candidates who are supremely qualified. Thanks, Rhiannon!

In particular. And of course the RW is obsessed with tearing them down - they know that any of these women know the law and are more than qualified for the job.

It's really too bad that the president can't appoint all three of them to replace the last three appointees. I'd be willing to bet that beer won't come up once in these confirmation hearings.
